From what we can tell from these grainy photos, Ferrari’s first foray into the SUV world will be polarizing at the very least.
Even the prospect of Ferrari building an SUV has sparked debate, and this first look at the impending Purosangue is sure to rekindle the debate. A few leaked photographs circulating on social media allege to show the next Ferrari SUV on the manufacturing floor from the front and back angles. They don’t present the most flattering depiction of the Purosangue’s proportions, whether it’s because to the camera angle, poor image quality, or a mix of the two.
- An image circulating on social media purports to show the new Ferrari SUV.
- Called the Purosangue, this new model is slated to begin production later this year.
- We’re expecting a turbocharged V-8 engine to be standard, with a possible hybrid setup.
The overall shape of the Purosangue is consistent with what we’ve seen in spy images. It has a long nose, four doors, and a sloping roofline that looks similar to the GTC4Lusso shooting brake’s. A sharp cutline goes from the hood to the front door, creating a scooped-out area, while black plastic body wrapping around the wheel well ensures it looks like an SUV. A full-width light bar appears to connect two sets of taillights at the back.
The Purosangue’s powerplant is most likely to be a turbocharged V-8 engine with help from an electric motor. Ferrari might, however, put a hybrid V-12 engine under the hood, or a V-6 hybrid powertrain in the base model.

Production will commence in 2022, with customer deliveries beginning the following year, according to Ferrari.
